Full Disclosure : I am indian citizen who is also waiting in backlog If we need to fix the backlog issue, we need to fix the abuse first. There are three abuse paths that I am aware of: 1) H1B : everyone knows about H1B abuse. consultancy companies have many fake companies so that they can file multiple H1B petition for same employee. Then they pay them lower wages and let the game continue. 2) H4 EAD : with this new power, consultancy companies do not even have to bother with fake petitions. They just need to generate fake resumes and since candidate already has EAD, they can begin working. 3) EB1C : This is the neweest weapon in consultancy compnies arsenal. Basically, just send candidate with word “manager” in title and have just ome reportee in india and file their GC as EB1C. THIS is the main reason for almost no movement in priority dates in pst 2 years. Consultancy companies have abused the hell out of this option and there are no GC left to trickle down to EB2. Lets see how long this post lasts before it is flagged down by consultancy company employees.
You sound so entitled
How exactly ? That is why I mentioned that I myself am sitting in that backlog. If you feel this s386 was the right solution and there is no abuse, then we have nothing more to discuss.
There are lot more people who are abusing the law using loopholes. This is nothing different.
1 and 2 is applicable for any human even American or Chinese. Interview process should be designedc to filter out fake resume if they are allowing it then they are partner in crime. For 3 partially true but it’s a loophole Which USCIS opens up and only they can close it
OMFG this shit again! Why? This entire topic is like scratching scabs. C’mon. Also whats up with no TC in the post. GTFO
OP excellent post.
You feel entitled because you work for Google? What makes think you are superior to someone from a consulting firm, who works for mission critical apps for an embedded product? As far I’m concerned, you and your ilk who push ads don’t add any value and are the bane of humanity. BTW, I never worked for a consulting firm.
OP there are many ways to come into this country. Some do it one way some do it another way. Sadly our way hasn’t been the most effective. That is all that it is! Are you going to decline a GC if that bill actually passes? There was an opportunity, people took it! If you were a consultancy company employee would you have said - no don’t bend the rules to get me to the states. No. We are selfish and we all complain when things don’t work for us. While I completely agree with your post, and things that need to happen, demonizing people is only to make us feel good. Beyond that, it doesn’t achieve anything
You are not getting your GC because of American laws, not because of other Indian people! If America REALLY wanted you to have a green card, they would change their laws overnight. A mom has 2 kids but wants to limit the number of ice creams the kids ask for. She sets a limit of 1 ice cream a week. Each kid thinks his brother is the reason he gets fewer ice creams.
Most Americans want a lot of things those Congress can’t pass. Including gun laws, better healthcare systems and this one. Look at the voting records for this.
This mom feeds her European kids ice cream daily, only lets her Indian and Chinese kids to starve.
OP get a kid in the USA and go back to India, or get as much tc as possible. Have an exit plan. Enjoy your life. Why is GC even needed? You’ll anyway get it once your kid turns 21.
That would go away if chain migration ends with same reasoning, too many Indians doing chain migration - that's not fair for ROW, how unfair it is to compete, we don't have kids born here, Indians are abusing const and bla bla bla
If Chain migration goes away country quota will go away too. See how many in Congress and Senate co sponsored this bill? On a generic vote country quota removal would pass.
If you feel (3) is that easy, why don't you try that yourself? Regarding (1)- any fix won't affect people already in queue (2) how does it impact GC queue?
For your (3) argument : That is the best you could come up with ? This mentality has lead us here. Rest are the reasons backlog is growing at insane pace. Consultancy companies take 45000+ H1Bs every year
I know quite a few close friends and relatives in (3) category. They deserve it totally. It's not easy to get to a level to manage a report in India
